67' Shelby Mustang GT500 Eleanor PROGRESS

[Purpura Delujo]

Did you make those back lights yourself? Because the Stang model you have is exact same as miine, but mine was a remake....Just asking because mine didn't come with lights like that at all

[Honoturtle]

Well the car came with the 3 vertical "bars" for lights, but I did a light swap with a 69' Cougar from the 69' GT500 kit, the car from the movie actually came from a 67' cougar if I'm not wrong, which is a bit longer than the one's I have now, but it's close enough for me.

the 67 shelby mustang has those horizontal lines, the ford mustang has 3 vertical bars........I know, I have one.

Check this out!!!!!




TOO BAD it isn't mine!!!!!!!!! I'm pretty sure the guy who's making this used the Gt-350 kit which comes with the correct rear lights, but his spoiler seems smaller than the actual car.

I'll probably start working on it again right after I finish my AE86, but it was going on pretty well untill I decided to chop off that crap spoiler I made on my AE86 which got me back to working at it, technically right now I'm only working on my AE86, but here's my line up planned; AE86, 67' Mustang GT-500, Accord, 00' Cobra R, Mugen Civic, F50GT then a C-West DC5 Integra. It'll most likely change it's order, but other than that I'm probaly set for the year!

Hey!! Thanks for the pics, now I got about 90 reference pics!

[Honoturtle]

Well, I ordered a 67' Mustang GT-350 on Model Express, now I got the correct lights, spoiler, scoops, the hood needs some modifications. The total for the kit with shipping was $20-25, well worth it!

Here's a pic to compare the parts;

(RIGHT- GT-350 LEFT- GT )
You can see the difference between the hood lengths, and see how off I was with the rear spoiler, and since I used 69' instead of a 67' Couger rear lights they were shorter, but now I'm a happy camper

[Orion37170]

looks very nice so far


waiting on end result

[Red51]

I'm a newbie, so maybe I can get away with asking what might be a really stupid question.
Why do people use a GT350 to make the GT500? Isn't the GT500 a better starting point?
I guess that was two stupid questions in the end

[Orion37170]

that wasn't a stupid question at all. the thing is that eleanor is a 67th gt500, but the only kits similar to this are a 68th gt500 and a 67th gt350 and the changes between the two years are bigger than between gt350 and gt500
